Study highlights the impact of the Sines Complex on the national economy
The Study on the Economic, Social and External Impact of the Sines Port, Logistics and Industrial Complex was presented on 16 September at the APS Auditorium. The study was conducted by EY (Ernst & Young), at the initiative of ADRAL, as part of the “Invest in Alentejo 2.0” project.
aicep Global Parques took part in the session, represented by CEO Isabel Caldeira Cardoso, who joined the “Strategic Partners’ Vision” panel, and CFO Nuno Azevedo.
With a project pipeline worth more than €25 billion, covering areas such as digital, artificial intelligence, port logistics, energy and decarbonised industry, the Complex is expected to attract investments of between €13.5 billion and €20.5 billion by 2032.
Once fully operational, which is expected by 2040, the study estimates that the Gross Value Added (GVA) generated by the Complex could more than quadruple.
In this context, ZILS – Sines Industrial and Logistics Zone plays a central role in this expansion, contributing to strengthening Sines’ position as one of the country’s leading centres of economic and industrial development.
